March 30th through 31st, 2002

xxLt & the Sugarman were boiling sap all weekend. Inside the shack they have discovered that by covering the boiling sap they can increase the enthalpy of the system and get faster evaporation. Thermodynamic engineering, keeping pancakes moist and sweetened among other things The sap was hardly running while we were there. The less said about the condition of the lane the better. The lake level is up to -9.5 inches below the nail. The ice depth was checked near the unexplained ruins or Jeff's fort. The ice drill was almost up the the handle before the hole was finished. 24 inches of very solid ice. The blades of the ice drill are still very sharp. The ice depth would have been much more of a task to find without it. The pier rescue operation went well. Some felt that taking the piers out this Spring would somehow be easier that hauling them out last Fall. Nemo's attempt to use hand tools to saw the extra pipe section off and use the ice drill to free the legs left him to tired to go on. That left xxLt with the honor honor of spuding the legs out and doing most of the work. Another mystery! The wooden tops of the other pier sections somehow detached from their supports and were found a short distance away. xxLt was seen in the area with a chainsaw.<br><br><br>-Nemo claims it wasn't him.
